Trans was a straight forward rebuild (about 25 yrs ago!), Trans Go shift kit otherwise stock internals.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. Absolutely need more seat time, hoping to get back to the track at least a few more times this year. The main purpose of this trip was really a shakedown run for the car, make sure everything runs ok and it gets there and back in one piece. Next trip I plan to...

I was at Island, Mopars at the patch. I completely brain farted on the tire pressure. Drove from home with 30-32 PSI and forgot to lower it when I got there.

500 ft. was a warm day but no too humid

So about 20 yrs after I built the engine the Dart finally made it to the track a few weeks ago. It was busy and I only got two runs in. First run car stalled after the burnout I got flustered rushed everything left the line sideways ran something like a 14.2. Second run slowed down didn't get a...

Update: New fuel tank going in this week. Pulled the filer and it was full of crap.

Yes, I do have a shop working on it, first time in over 25yrs of owning this car just cause I don't have the time to mess with it right now but I still like driving it. I do trust the shop, guys a Mopar guy. No I'm not intending to go tell him the internet told me you should do this or that. But...

The shop thinks the coil is the problem too. The coil was part of an old Accell 300+ ignition I had in there. I was having problems starting/ running and I swapped the box for the MSD but left the coil. It worked much better with the MSD box until today although I really only drove it once. Coil...

73 340 for sale no intake. $350.00 Must pick up located in Morris county NJ Engine was taken from car running (good), heads/oil pan off. Previous owner said it was rebuilt stock and this appears to be true. Bores look good w/ minimal ridge and still have crosshatch. Could probably be...

Thanks for the replies. The gas tank as far as I know is 50yrs old! I hand't thought of it but that's probably a good place to start. Most everything except the tank was replaced about 15 yrs ago (sender/fuel lines) and the cars has been garage kept but sat without running for quite a while...

Engine -360/Holley Street Dominator vac sec/MSD 6Al/Accell coil/MP distributor 727 I had a problem with car idling high after it warmed up, shop took care of this, hooked up the electric choke. Picked it up today, started up no problem drove it about 5 miles. Got on the gas a little and it went...

WyKev, What year is your Dart? I'm planning to do the same thing with my '69. I recently did my first track day at Pocono Raceway(not in my Dart yet) and ever since then I've been thinking about what I can do to make the Dart road course worthy. As others have suggested the Green Brick...

Sorry about that: Cam - Hughes HE3038AL Intake 0.515" 230 @ 0.050" exhaust 0.535" 237 @ 0.050" Manifold - RPM AirGap, ~10.2:1 compression, cleaned up Edelbrock heads TTI Step headers, automatic with a T/A 3500 stall converter. Accel 300+ electronic ignition box. I think that's about it. The...

Hi, My combo, 360, 750 Street Avenger, MP distributor vacuum advance not connected. When I first start the car and it warms up enough to come off high idle it seems fine idles around 750. Once I start driving for a while it wants to idle at over 2000. If I'm driving and put it in neutral it...

Hi everyone, Just found this site last week. I currently own a '69 Dart 360/727/8-3/4 and in the past had a '70 440 and a '72 /6. I recently had my first experience roadracing and I'm thinking of turning the Dart into a corner burner. Todd
